Oppo sees opportunities in Europe for 5G devices

Chinese smartphone vendor Oppo is making a strong push into Europe by announcing that its 5G smartphone will enter the Swiss market as early as next month.

The company said at a launch event in Zurich that it will partner with Swisscom AG, a major telecommunications provider in Switzerland, to bring its first commercially available 5G device to the country.

The move is part of Oppo's "5G Landing Project," an initiative to drive cooperation with global network operators to promote the implementation of 5G products and services, empower new use cases for consumers and connect new industries.
